What's New

OCT 2026

Expanded attack context 

  • RedSeal 10.9 adds identity, endpoint, and AI application context to help teams understand how exposures connect and how attackers could reach critical systems. 

End-to-end attack simulation 

  • Security teams can model multi-step attack campaigns against RedSeal's environment model to understand how an attack could unfold and where controls or remediation can break the path. 

AI-ready security operations 

  • New MCP support makes RedSeal's trusted network, reachability, and risk intelligence available to AI SOC agents and other AI-assisted security workflows.

Technology Overview

RedSeal makes exposure management preemptive. It continuously models complex hybrid environments across IT, cloud, OT, and IoT to give security teams a trusted understanding of how assets, connections, identities, vulnerabilities, and controls work together. Rather than adding another list of findings, RedSeal shows which routes an attacker could use to reach critical systems and where organizations can most effectively break the attack path. 

Continuous environment modeling, attack path analysis, and risk-based prioritization help teams identify the exposures that matter most. RedSeal then guides the right teams toward mitigation or remediation and validates that controls and remediation actions are working as intended. Its agentless approach integrates with more than 2,000 security and infrastructure systems and devices, allowing organizations to add network and environmental context to the tools they already use. 

RedSeal 10.9 expands that context with identity, endpoint, and AI application intelligence, end-to-end attack simulation, and MCP-enabled workflows for AI-assisted security operations. Together, these capabilities help organizations understand how an attack could unfold, what critical systems could be reached, and where action will reduce the most risk.

AI Classification: Generative AI / LLM 

RedSeal uses Generative AI / LLM capabilities to help security teams analyze how attackers could move through complex environments, identify critical systems at risk, recommend mitigation or remediation actions, and support AI-assisted security workflows. With RedSeal 10.9, MCP-enabled integration also makes RedSeal's trusted environment, reachability, and risk intelligence available to AI SOC agents and other LLM-based workflows. 

CapabilityWhat It Does
Hybrid Environment ModelingBuilds a living, continuously updated model of every asset, connection, and exposure across the hybrid environment, including cloud, on-premises, and OT.
Attack Path AnalysisMaps every route an attacker could take to reach high-value targets, evaluates existing controls to reduce false positives, and identifies what is truly exploitable.
Risk Prioritization (Risk Radius™)Combines likelihood of compromise with business impact, asset value, attack paths, existing controls, and internal vs. external exposure to rank remediation priorities.
Continuous ComplianceContinuously validates the environment against internal policies and standards (NIST, PCI DSS, CMMC) using automated checks and "what-if" simulations.
Dashboards & ReportingExecutive dashboards and a Digital Resilience Score help management and board members monitor risk-reduction progress over time.
Workflow AutomationA low-code workflow builder automates the process from exposure finding to verified fix, including ticketing, ownership, and validation, without custom scripting.

Partner Value Proposition

Partners aren't just adding a line item. They're adding a capability that customers are actively asking for, one that works alongside tools customers already own.

  • Differentiation: Most partners already sell vulnerability scanners, SIEM, or firewalls. RedSeal adds proof of what is actually reachable and exploitable across the network, providing a layer those tools do not offer on their own.
  • Attach to Deals Already in Motion: RedSeal enhances a customer's existing security investments rather than replacing them, making it an additive solution to active opportunities rather than a rip-and-replace sale.
  • Recurring Revenue: RedSeal licenses as ongoing software (by device/technology count), providing partners with a renewable revenue stream and an annual customer touchpoint.
  • Higher-Level, Board-Relevant Conversations: The Digital Resilience Score and executive dashboards give partner account executives a business-risk narrative for security leadership and board-level discussions.
  • Deal Registration & Margin Protection

The Problem

Security teams have more findings than they can act on. Disconnected tools surface individual vulnerabilities, identities, assets, and controls, but often lack the environmental context needed to determine how an attacker could actually reach critical systems.

Why Now

  • AI is increasing the speed and scale of attacker activity while also creating new assets, applications, agents, and workflows that security teams must understand.
  • Organizations are adopting CTEM and continuous exposure management instead of relying solely on point-in-time vulnerability assessments.
  • Security leaders need to extract more value from existing tools rather than simply adding more findings.
  • RedSeal 10.9 adds identity and AI application context, end-to-end attack simulation, richer endpoint intelligence, and AI SOC integration through MCP.

 

Why RedSeal 

  • Builds and continuously validates a trusted model across IT, cloud, OT, and IoT. 
  • Shows which weaknesses create routes to critical systems.
  • Prioritizes exposure using reachability, exploitability, and business impact.
  • Helps teams mobilize mitigation and remediation, then validate that actions worked. 
  • Integrates with more than 2,000 existing security and infrastructure systems and devices. 

RedSeal integrates with 2,000+ security and infrastructure systems through 150+ connectors covering 80+ vendors. It operates agentlessly, mapping assets and access while enriching other tools with network context. This breadth makes RedSeal a natural add-on to a partner's existing book of business rather than a competitive replacement sale.

Message Overview

RedSeal and WWT help organizations move from reactive security findings to preemptive exposure management. RedSeal gives security teams a trusted understanding of complex hybrid environments, reveals which weaknesses create real routes to critical systems, prioritizes the risks that matter most, and helps teams mobilize and validate remediation. For WWT customers with significant investments across networking, cloud, security, OT, and infrastructure, RedSeal adds the context needed to make those existing investments more actionable. 

For WWT sellers, RedSeal can attach to existing security, cloud, infrastructure, and transformation opportunities rather than requiring a rip-and-replace motion. The partnership creates recurring software and services opportunities, while RedSeal's deal-registration program provides margin protection for qualified opportunities. WWT sellers should register opportunities early to protect partner economics and engage RedSeal resources for technical validation, demos, and co-selling support.

RedSeal competes primarily in the exposure/vulnerability management and network security posture space. 

Tenable

Strong vulnerability management and exposure capabilities. Position RedSeal where customers need deeper network and environmental context to understand whether findings create a route to critical systems and where remediation will reduce the most risk. 

Qualys 

Strong vulnerability management and asset visibility. RedSeal complements vulnerability data with hybrid environment modeling, attack-path context, reachability, and business-impact prioritization. 

XM Cyber 

Competes directly around exposure management and attack-path analysis. Position RedSeal around its continuously updated hybrid environment model, deep network context, agentless integration, and ability to bring IT, cloud, OT, IoT, identity, endpoint, and AI application context into the exposure story. 

Skybox Security 

Historically focused on network security and policy analysis. Position RedSeal around preemptive exposure management, attack-path understanding, risk prioritization, and remediation validation across the broader hybrid environment. 

AlgoSec / FireMon / Tufin 

Primarily focused on network security policy and firewall management. RedSeal complements these technologies by showing how weaknesses and controls connect to real routes to business-critical systems.

RedSeal's fit for WWT sellers centers on three things: 

  • RedSeal gives WWT sellers a way to extend existing security, network, cloud, and infrastructure conversations into preemptive exposure management. Rather than asking customers to replace the tools they already own, RedSeal connects to those investments and adds the environmental context needed to understand which findings create real risk.
  • Technically, RedSeal continuously models complex environments across IT, cloud, OT, and IoT, then uses that model to reveal routes to critical systems and prioritize where action will reduce the most risk. RedSeal 10.9 expands that context with identity, endpoint, and AI application intelligence plus end-to-end attack simulation.
  • For WWT, that creates both software and services opportunities around exposure assessment, CTEM, segmentation, implementation, integration, and ongoing exposure management. The combination of RedSeal technology and WWT's technical expertise gives customers a practical path from identifying exposure to reducing it.

Organization Size: Mid-market to large enterprise and public sector organizations with complex, hybrid network environments — typically organizations with dedicated network security or NOC/SOC teams, not the smallest SMBs, given the platform's stated value is proportional to environment complexity and data quality (per Gartner Peer Insights reviewer feedback). Industries/Verticals: Public sector/federal, healthcare, financial services, and critical infrastructure/manufacturing (OT-heavy) — see Vertical Focus section above; confirm exact top 3–5 against WWT deal history. 

  • Environment spans on-prem, multiple clouds, and OT/IoT — not a single-cloud or single-tool shop.
  • Security team is resource-constrained relative to the size/complexity of the environment they're responsible for. 
  • Currently relies on manual network diagrams or spreadsheets to understand attack paths, or juggles multiple disconnected point tools. 
  • Needs to report exposure/risk posture to a board or regulator (compliance-driven reporting need). 
  • Has a mature-enough security operation to feed the platform good data — per Gartner reviewer feedback, RedSeal's value is directly tied to data quality and team expertise, so a customer with no dedicated network/security engineering capacity is a weaker fit.
